Well, the fact that "it works with an LED" tells me that sketch is working correctly and that you have Vixen configured correctly. That it does not work with the SRR tells me that you have a problem with your SSRs or the wiring between the MEGA and the SSR of the connection of your 120vac.

I think it's my ZCD because if I apply gnd signal without the ZCD, the ac lighting turns on but doesn't dim. I probably fried the chip...
The POWER ON test, in Version 2, is a simple go/no-go test that you should see working when you first powerup your Arduino with the SSR board connected. If you claim that a LED works just fine (i.e. it dims with a Vixen sequence) then I would expect the ZCD to be working as it is required to make a LED dim. You can modify the POWER ON test to include dimming as a means to test your SSR boards.I think it's my ZCD because if I apply gnd signal without the ZCD, the ac lighting turns on but doesn't dim.

do you know what the DC power usage is on the 2560 thanks
Look under "Technical Specs" at this link; https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega2560_

Better to ask these questions in the FPP or Pixels forum so others with more knowledge can offer help.
